acid 70's
first trip
feeling God's
fingers on
my brain
hearing the
melody of
colours
smelling the
texture of
words
spoke with
Kierkegaard,
the Buddha
and Jesus
learned that
everything was
meaningless, but
far more significant
then we will ever
understand
I walked through
the hanging
gardens of my
own soul and
picked Dharma
flowers
and knew that
nothing would
be the same
ever again
Author's Note
In the late 1970's I took a hit of acid everyday for a year, but the first trip...WAS the trip!

Sometimes I regret never having tried it. Wonder if I'm too old now...?
Or, I could just read this excellent poem and enjoy the ride that way. 🙂

Buy the ticket, take the ride. Part of me regrets the trips and the permanent damage done (addiction to whatever was available in the moment-speed, opium and the such, and the fact I still see trails after all these years clean). Another part of me says I wouldn't be the me I am today without those experiences. Who knows?

Acid is one of the truly inspiring drugs...on my death-bed I hope to go with one last hit. Love the ink, Kitty.

I followed The Grateful Dead for the entire summer one year, before Jerry Garcia passed away. It was almost like living a lifetime in 3 months... hahaha... I wouldn't change that experience for anything. It was a crash course of experimentation. Long enough to have fun and open my eyes / mind, short enough not to develop any bad habits. I still don't really KNOW any Dead songs.... just their vibe...hahah.
I loved this knowledge, bk. Yet another reason why I need to pick your brain over coffee!!!
Ty for sharing, this was incredible!

Unfortunately, my experiences took a left turn and I crashed and burned BADLY. Addiction took over my life. I am lucky to be alive today. Not everyone's experiences turn out as such...fortunately. Now after 40 plus years of sobriety, I am an advocate for others in recovery and dispelling the stereotypes about addicts.

What travels you've been on, my friend! I give you all the deserved credit for your work in dispelling stereotypes, so absolutely - kudos there, bk. I'm sure the road was long, hard fought and at times a struggle. However, like you said, it made you who you are today; allowing your goodness to help others and of course giving you an opportunity at crossing paths with some decent souls here, too!
That's my greedy girl good fortune!!!
I did not know this about you, and I'm really proud, even 40 years in, of your accomplishments.
Thanks for sharing, it's so motivating!

Your acid trip sounded life-changing. This poem takes me along the psychedelic strands into the heart of this mind-altering. I had a similar trip but not drug-induced. Without my mental meltdown, I'd likely never have written poetry. La Chaim my friend.

I'm still tripping ( but w/out the trendy chemical amusement aids).
Thank you, John.

I wrote a piece on Ayahuasca sometime ago, as I researched it and watched a couple of documentaries I became intrigued by the experiences some of these folks explained. As badmalthus said, perhaps before I die I'd try so as to reach those parts I'd never be able to experience.

It was an interesting time in my life, wally.
Both destructive and enlightening. What a paradox!
